days at the pleasant seaside town Of
Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, l
heard related what seemed to me either
fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was that Il poor sufferer who
had not been able to lie down in he'd for
six long years, given up to die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1T was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, rs was said, that the
Vicar of Llnnrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for tho truth
of the report
Having little curiosity to know how
such stories grow In travelling, took

seemed to take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
suilerings. and now rejoiced in what
